Description Enter the name you want assigned to the Port Channel. You may enter any string of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. You must specify a valid name in order to create the Port Channel. Specify whether you want to have a trap sent when link status changes. The factory default is enable, which will cause the trap to be sent. Select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. When the Port Channel is disabled no traffic will flow and LACPDUs will be dropped, but the links that form the Port Channel will not be released. The factory default is enable. Indicates whether the link is Up or Down. Select the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Administrative Mode associated with the Port Channel: • Disable: Spanning tree is disabled for this Port Channel. • Enable: Spanning tree is enabled for this Port Channel. Select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. The factory default is Disable. • Enable: The port channel is statically maintained, which means it does not transmit or process received LAGPDUs. The member ports do not transmit LAGPDUs and all the LAGPDUs it may receive are dropped. A static port-channel interface does not require a partner system to be able to aggregate its member ports. • Disable: The port channel is dynamically maintained. The interface transmits and processes LAGPDUs and requires a partner system Select the hashing algorithm used to distribute the traffic load among available physical ports in the LAG. The range of possible values may vary with the type of switch. The possible values are: • Source MAC, VLAN, EtherType, and source port • Destination MAC, VLAN, EtherType and source port • Source/Destination MAC, VLAN, EtherType, and source port • Source IP and Source TCP/UDP Port • Destination IP and Destination TCP/UDP Port • Source/Destination IP and source/destination TCP/UDP Port After you create one or more port channel, this field lists the members of the Port Channel in Slot/Port form. If there are no port channels on the system, this field is not present. This column lists the physical ports available on the system. Select each port's membership status for the Port Channel you are configuring. There can be a maximum of 8 ports assigned to a Port Channel. • Include: The port participates in the port channel. • Exclude: The port does not participate in the port channel, which is the default. Shows ports that are already members of other Port Channels. A port may only be a member of one Port Channel at a time. If the entry is blank, the port is not currently a member of any Port Channel • If you make any changes to this page, click Submit to apply the changes to the system. • To remove a port channel, select it from the Port Channel Name drop-down menu and click Delete. All ports that were members of this Port Channel are removed from the Port Channel and included in the default VLAN. This field will not appear when a new Port Channel is being created.
